Are There Driveways in Mount Eden?
Not many. Mount Eden is mostly pre war apartment buildings and walk ups, so private driveways are uncommon. Where they exist, such as on garage ramps, rear parking pads and a few service entrances, they take hard use on steep ground. We repair those.
If you own a building with a garage or a parking area behind it, this is the page for you. Delivery trucks, daily parking and trash collection all load a slab more than a family car would.
Most of what we do around here is sidewalks, steps and masonry. If your concern is the public walk at the curb, we handle that too, and we explain below how it differs from a driveway.
What Goes Wrong With Sloped Driveways and Ramps?
Steep grades between Jerome Avenue and the Grand Concourse put extra stress on ramps and pads. Water runs fast, cuts under the edges and washes out the base. Slabs then crack, sink or break at the lower end first.
Salt in winter and constant tire load make the damage worse. A ramp that pitches the wrong way sends water to the garage door instead of the street.
We repair the surface where the base is sound. Where the slab has dropped or the base has gone, we break out the section, rebuild the subgrade and pour new concrete with a pitch that drains away from the building.
Which Repair Fits My Ramp or Parking Pad?
The repair follows the damage. Surface flaws can be patched, while sunken or broken slabs need partial or full replacement. We check the slope and drainage first, because a bad pitch will ruin any repair done on top of it.
| Problem | Likely cause | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Surface scaling | Salt and freeze thaw cycles | Resurface or patch |
| Cracked slab | Load and weak base | Replace the slab section |
| Low end sinking | Washed out subgrade | Rebuild base and pour new |
| Water at the garage door | Wrong pitch | Re pour at the right slope |
Your estimate lists the sections and the work for each.
Does a Mount Eden Driveway Need a Permit?
Repairs kept inside your lot are outside the DOT sidewalk permit. A driveway apron that crosses the sidewalk, a curb cut, a retaining wall or structural work can involve DOT or the Department of Buildings. We tell you what your job needs and file what we are responsible for.
The apron where a driveway meets the street is part of the sidewalk, and sidewalk rules apply to it. If the walk is cracked, the owner must maintain it. Confirm current rules with the city.
We do not make claims about who is responsible for the curb. We look at what is damaged and tell you what the work involves.
